You can host your Corona HTML5 builds directly on your Coronium Core server in the Pages directory.

This also allows you to access your custom built server-side APIs using the CoroniumJS plugin.

Hosting HTML5 Builds

To host your HTML5 game or app, create a directory in the /home/coronium/pages directory and upload your Corona HTML5 output.

The game or app will be available at:

http[s]://your.coronium.server/<html5-app-directory>

To access the debug build use:

http[s]://your.coronium.server/<html5-app-directory>/index-debug.html

Using CoroniumJS

Using the CoroniumJS plugin in your Corona HTML5 project gives you access to your custom server-side APIs. The plugin will be enhanced over time to allow for more functionality.

Requires Corona daily build 2018.3276 or higher.
